PriceThis is an incredible trek experience in North Africa. Mount Toubkal ascent is the wildest dream of every mountaineer in Morocco.
It will take your version of hiking to the next level! It is the highest mountain in North Africa, with a peak standing as high as 4167m. This ascent will take you one step closer to the nature’s heart. Our Toubkal Mountain trek will start from and end in Marrakech. Qualified English speaking guides will escort you, as well as mules to carry your equipment and food higher into the mountain. The ascent should not be impossible for unprofessional mountaineers, as the route to the top is much more of a moderate hike than a serious steep mountain climb.
Find your peace and tranquility, and admire nature and its undisturbed, pristine beauty in this 2 days Toubkal Mount ascent.
Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil – Refuge
Day 1 is an early start. Our driver will collect you early in the morning to drive south to Imlil. Along the way you will pass through the valleys of Toubkal Massif, the Haouz Plain and the village of Asni. Asni village will be the beginning point of our climb to the Massif.
During the drive, you will see all the tiny villages scattered around the hillsides. We drive to the village of Imlil where our adventure begins and you meet our expert mountain guides who will take you all the way to the top.
Mules will carry all your personal luggage and the equipment. Anything that will be of a burden to you or slow your pace during the trek will be taken by the mules.
It is a long uphill hike of 5 or 6 hours to the Toubkal Refuge. The hike to the mountain begins be passing by the Sidi Shamharouch shrine. We will stop here for a picnic lunch in nature.
After lunch we continue the trek to Toubkal refuge. This is as a basecamp within the heart of Mother Nature. Today’s hike will test you legs’ capacity and endurance ahead of the big climb tomorrow.
Relax during the evening and enjoy your night in the wilderness. You can sleep the night in Toubkal refuge or during the summer camp in a tent. Try to get a good nights sleep to be ready to summit the stunning Toubkal peak the next day.
Day 2: Toubkal Refuge – Toubkal Summit – Imlil – Marrakech
An early breakfast will be served at 5:30 AM. After we begin to climb up to the Toubkal Summit. The route we take will vary depending on the season. During winter, we take a shorter but steeper trail lasting 3 to 4 hours.
The ascent is safe and non-technical, but is still challenging at some points. Near the summit are some difficult parts where caution is requires, our guides are hugely experienced and will avoid risky routes and choose the safest trail for the conditions.
Once we reach the top you will enjoy around 45 minuntes at the summit. We keep the time here low to avoid the effects of altitude sickness. The views from the top are incredible, as you can see Berber villages and gaze across the entire Atlas Mountains range. The stunning views will make all the hardships you faced during the climb worthwhile.
During winter avoid having your camera out for extended periods, because the sub-zero temperatures will drain your batteries faster than normal! We then trek back to Toubkal refuge, and spend an hour or so recovering from the hike. Finally we retrace our steps back to Imlil, to meet your driver who will take you back to Marrakech
